Also E version not as desirable therefore not as saleable.
Not too sure on the price of a replacement rear shock or whether the original could be re-worked, but exc front forks are available second hand for about £200. I picked up a set for £85 with leaking seals, rebuilt them and fitted second hand heavier springs and the whole lot owed me under £200. Completely transformed the way the bike handled off road. I wasn't worried about the height and the shock was rebuilt under warranty so had a heavier spring fitted at the same time. It was like a completely different bike and the difference was amazing.

I would look for a cheap E and spend the extra money getting it how you want it.

Unless you weigh 11 stone then no off road bike is good out the box, they all need the suspension tweaking to suit.

Very nice 690R here ttp://www.ktmforum.co.uk/bikes-bits-sale/1490 ... -12-a.html

But at £5750, it still needs a decent exhaust, bashplate and headlight :pinch:

Best of luck Mike, I'd like a 690 as well but I have the opposite problem to you (lack of height :( ) so i'll stick to my 950 and use my DR350 for 'girls bike outings' :laugh:
